From black technology to super engineering

One day later, Ye Ming summoned Lianna and Hall to his office.

According to convention, as long as Ye Ming stays in one place for more than a week, he must be equipped with a temporary office that is as fully functional as possible - now that he has been here for more than a month, the office has naturally been configured long ago.

It's just that compared to the places where he often goes, such as the earth and the moon, the configuration here is slightly lower, but even so, He Mo has arranged it properly for him. It is the largest, brightest and most complete function in the entire sky city. .

There is naturally her little thought in this.

Now that Ye Ming has left, does this office become hers?

"Please take a seat, both of you."

Ye Ming walked to the sofa, tilted his head at the two of them and looked above his head. The exposed large projection equipment made him quite worried about whether it would fall: "Will this thing fall off?"

"Don't worry, the base is welded tightly, unless the whole floor falls." He Mo turned around and looked at Hall while making tea and said with a smile: "Sir Hall, the floor won't fall, right?"

Hall's expression was indifferent, and he just glanced at the ceiling: "Although mankind's use of steel has not reached its limit, it is impossible to worry about the steel structure falling off after heat treatment."

Lianna touched Hall lightly.

Of course she knew that Ye Ming and He Mo made this joke at this time to make the scene less embarrassing and heavy.

After all...the two of them were going to see with their own eyes today how humans defeated them. And they, a year ago, were the masters of this place and the ones responsible for the all-out war against humanity!

"Well, it just looks uncomfortable. Let's hang it from the ceiling sometime."

Ye Ming crossed his legs, then raised his wrist and took a look.

"Aita, activate the projection and access the command center's combat star map."

"Received, the presence of a hostile civilization observation object has been detected, the authority is being confirmed...authorized, and starting to access the signal."

As Aita's voice fell, a light curtain lowered instantly, and a three-dimensional star map unfolded above the coffee table. On the star map, countless dots of light have gathered together.

Hall's pupils narrowed for a moment, and he discovered that the location of the human star map was exactly the 32712 galaxy outside Base 32.

At this time, human warships were already gathering outside the star gate, forming an hourglass-shaped defensive formation.

"How are you going to attack?" Hall looked up at Ye Ming: "Still using super-fast warships to penetrate the defense and then release the missile cluster? Or release the ghost missile?"

Ghost particles were what Ye Ming told him personally, the most advanced weapons that humans used to destroy thousands of their warships last time.

It's so advanced that... the Empire can't even detect it!

In order to know what this was, he was willing to stay, otherwise he would die in peace.

Now, humans... should resort to their old tricks. After all, this is the way to fight with the least loss.

In contrast, Lianna was a little calmer, but she also stared at the stars on the star map.

She knew that this time, the empire had dispatched the most powerful Star Destroyer Array - a weapon that when converged, was powerful enough to destroy a planet, and when attacked continuously, could block the entire star gate.

Therefore, she also wanted to know how humans could break through the past.

"Well, since you have emptied all our detection ships before, we will send the detection ships over first to have a look."

Ye Ming looked at the time again and put on his headphones.

—— Showing off human power to these two people does not mean showing everything to these two people. Listen to it.

After a moment, he frowned slightly and looked at Hall with a little surprise: "What other weapons do you have?"

Hall was a little confused. He glanced at Lianna, then turned back to Ye Ming: "What do you mean?"

"Our ultra-high-speed detection spacecraft was wiped out by you as soon as it passed the star gate." Ye Ming said with a puzzled expression: "Logically speaking, you shouldn't have such powerful firepower... you can actually blow us up. The defense limit of the anti-matter reconnaissance spacecraft - unless you use a massive number of warships to continuously fire salvos at the star gate."

"Chief Ye, have you ever considered that we actually have such a capability." Although Hall could not guess what method the legion used to intercept the human detection spacecraft, but according to what Ye Ming said, it continued to use unlimited main guns. The attack can indeed destroy all matter coming out of the star gate.

"Well, okay...it seems there is no way to do a live broadcast for you." Ye Ming smiled and shook his head, with a look of regret on his face.

Hall's pupils shrank again and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean?"

"It means that there is no way to visualize the battlefield." Ye Ming picked up the tea cup, blew the tea foam gently and took a sip. After putting down the tea cup, he pushed the tea cup in front of the two people in front of them: "Then we just have to wait for the news."

"What's the news? How...are you going to attack?" Hall didn't even blink, looking at Ye Ming across the star map.

"Use ultra-high-density curvature missiles to send ghost particles there."

"How to send it?"

"Send them directly." After saying that, Ye Ming pressed the earphone, listened for a few seconds and smiled slightly: "This time, I sent three at once, and they were all empty - I hope your battleship can survive for a while longer. "

Hall stared at Ye Ming. He took a deep breath and clenched his hands tightly: "Can you... tell me the principle?"

"Of course - I actually told you a few months ago that we have mastered the technology of dimensionality enhancement and dimensionality reduction of matter, and combined the two together."

"You can understand it as..." Ye Ming pondered for a second and then continued to explain: "We put a bunch of huge energy and control centers into a proton-sized matter, and this atom can be controlled according to our Will, with a displacement speed exceeding the speed of light - it is driven by curvature - to perform a broadcast clearing of the entire airspace."

After Liana heard this, her hands and feet felt cold.

A controlled proton!

What kind of technology is this? !

No wonder Ye Ming would let them observe the battle without any scruples!

But then Hall's voice sounded: "We cannot detect proton-sized curvature fluctuations, but if it is a broadcast-type displacement, it will definitely trigger a curvature wave."

"Yes, you can detect curvature waves. But it's useless, you can't react."

"Then how does it attack? How does a proton... attack? It can even penetrate most matter directly! And even if it encounters a battleship... with that little curvature, it is impossible to cause such powerful damage and collapse of matter. !”

Hall was still staring at Ye Ming, and his mind was filled with the fireworks from back then.

That is absolutely impossible to be caused by a proton.

"Yes." Ye Ming nodded again, like a very patient teacher: "So, the moment it comes into contact with the set atom, it will release powerful electromagnetic energy - you can understand that it is a controllable A condensed version of the main gun or a bomb designed to explode in the core of the spacecraft."

Hall's pupils shrank to the extreme in an instant!

"How can this be?"

"How...to achieve it?"

"Sorry, I really can't tell you how to implement it." Ye Ming smiled and shook his head: "And I can tell you that you are far behind us in both theory and technology. Even if I tell you how It’s unlikely that you will be able to accomplish it in a short period of time.”

"He Mo, get some snacks and let's chat while we eat. We may have to wait for an hour or two here."

…

Ye Ming "tried" to chat with the two men while cracking melon seeds.

But it was obvious that neither Hall nor Lianna were thinking about chatting. They kept looking at the star map - the human battleship on it still did not move.

This means that humans are very confident in the ghost particles they release.

And such confidence means that... the imperial fleet located behind the Star Gate is being attacked by unknown weapons.

Suddenly, Ye Ming's expression changed. He touched the headphones again, and then a smile appeared on his face: "It seems that your defense is not very good."

Hall, who had been feeling uneasy, immediately took a deep breath: "What do you mean?"

"It means that our detector has passed."

Ye Ming raised his hand and pointed at the star map. After a moment, the star map disappeared, followed by a red light all over the sky.

——No, it’s not red light, but countless densely packed red dots that merge into light, illuminating the entire office in red.

In the upper right corner of the star chart, a number is rising.

3879, 3879, 3880…

Looking at the numbers, Hall's heart suddenly fell to the bottom. He pointed at the numbers and trembled: "Is this...a destroyed battleship?"

"To be precise, it is a comparison based on existing records. It is not completely accurate, but it is almost the same."

Hall's face turned pale instantly.

He turned his head to look at Liana, and saw Liana's expression was exactly the same, with deep despair in her eyes.

Ye Ming put down the melon seeds, stood up slowly, and looked down at the pair of distressed mandarin ducks.

"You have also seen that the empire does not have any qualifications or power to bargain with us."

"But we still hope for peace, because... the resources of the entire universe are limited."

"When these resources are used more for war, they will be used less for people's livelihood. And in this universe, there are still so many lives and civilizations in the stage of ignorance and backwardness..."

"As an advanced civilization, we should not turn a blind eye."

"This is the biggest difference between us and you."

Hall and Liana looked up at Ye Ming.

Ye Ming's expression was serious: "I don't know if your civilization has a turning point in history, but we have it - and I hope you can have it too."

"Now, this universe, your civilization, has reached a turning point."

"Whether you want your empire to completely turn against civilization, or whether you want to enter a new order and become a true civilization, the choice lies in your hands."

After finishing speaking, Ye Ming slowly walked out of the office and gave the two people time to think.

Although Ye Ming left, He Mo is still there.

However, He Mo did not disturb the two of them. She was like Ye Ming's secretary at this moment, only responsible for serving tea and water to the two of them, while eating various snacks comfortably on the side.

And she ate happily.

Because...the two people were obviously in deep shock and fear, and then there was endless silence.

In silence, Liana stared at the constantly beating number. When the number reached five digits, she closed her eyes.

Then, she opened her eyes and looked at He Mo.

"Can I contact them there?"

"Okay." He Mo nodded casually.

Lianna took a deep breath, and then opened the handbag Gloria gave her.

Looking at this handbag, the corners of He Mo's mouth curled up slightly - Ai Wen knew to prepare a gift, this bag is hers! Moreover, I just bought it and haven’t even carried it on my back once.

"It seems the battle is going well."

In the office of the Foreign Affairs Office next door, Director Xia looked at Ye Ming who opened the door and stood up to greet him with a smile.

She was engaged in diplomatic work. Although diplomacy was inseparable from war, she was not familiar with combat and didn't like it very much. She simply drank tea and waited for the results.

"Well, in fact, the empire has no power to fight back now." Ye Ming walked to the sofa next to him and sat down, with a smile on his lips and emotion on his face: "The next thing is how the empire people decide them fate."

Director Xia nodded with deep understanding.

She is experienced in diplomacy and knows that a civilization like the Empire, whose sphere of influence covers the entire habitable zone of the universe, is the hardest to deal with.

If we follow the plan of conquest, it is very likely that it will cause turmoil and disaster to the entire universe in the future.

Therefore, human beings use so many methods on a limited number of Imperial people - either inducement, coercion, or influence.

Their purpose is to deal with the future of the empire as "peacefully" and with as little "impact" as possible.

Reduce the empire's sphere of influence into ruins, beat all the empire's warships to pieces, and leave the entire universe covered with debris... That does not conform to the logic of humankind's governance of the future universe.

In addition, how to decide the fate of the Imperial people is also a headache - with the current moral standards of mankind, the biggest solution that can be made is to turn the Imperial people into second-class citizens under human rule.

After all, it is perfectly normal for a defeated race like the Empire, which is itself defined as an "evil force" by humans, for its people to be called second-class citizens - compared to what the Empire has done, humans are already a big deal to them. The gift of.

Then there is the exile.

But exile is common in novels, but in reality... it's really difficult to implement.

The empire's tens of billions of people are completely exiled. Not to mention how to resettle them, just sending them away is a big trouble.

Therefore, after many considerations, the higher-ups of mankind finally decided to let the Imperial people "choose" their destiny.

Human beings will ultimately determine their fate based on their choices.
